Understanding Your Limits When You Drink
In Illinois, .08 is the legal limit for blood alcohol content (BAC). If you are over that limit, you could be convicted of drunk driving.
You need to also be aware of the effects of any medication you are on. Certain painkillers and other prescription drugs can impact your ability to drive if you have even a single drink.
Fighting Your Drunk Driving Charges
We can help you fight your DUI charges. Our attorneys are well-versed in the police procedures for DUI. We will work to dispute your traffic stop and field sobriety testing, including nystagmus and Breathalyzer tests.
If it is your first arrest for drunk driving, we will fight to have your charges dismissed or to have the penalties reduced. Many first-time offenders are able to get probation. While the first DUI is a misdemeanor, subsequent DUI convictions can result in felony charges and imprisonment.
